Tadhg is a masterful reader.
The story is very good. Silas becomes a miser, simply because it's the only thing he has that he can care about. But his world is turned upside down twice: once when his most beloved is taken from him, and then when he is given another, better beloved.
The side story about the two brothers is also masterful.
Highly recommended!

The reader is great. His accent comes close to what would probably have been the accent of the characters. The book itself is a joy as well.

So why did he give it four stars instead of five?
This is the best reading I've come across yet from Librivox. Simply awesome.

I had read (or at least been ordered to read) this novel in grade school, and remembered hating it. I am so glad I gave it another chance these many years later. A heartfelt, insightful, and touching story that picks up in pace as it goes along. The reader is masterful and has a delightfully engaging accent and great sensitivity to the text. I highly recommend this novel and this reading, especially as an introduction to George Eliot's works.
